MOVIE REVIEW ()  OUR VERDICT :"THE GREEN MILE IS A REMARQUABLE MOVIE EXPERIENCE… !"
IT ALL STARTS IN OUR TIMES, WHEN SOME OLD MAN REMEMBERS HIS PAST AS A JAIL KEEPER….HE TELLS THE STORY OF A PARTICULAR YEAR HE SPENT IN THE MILE… THERE, BEING THE HEAD COMMANDER, HE DEALS WITH CONDEMNED CONVICTS AND TIE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEM TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO BE LOVED BEFORE DYING…ONE DAY,  A STRANGE, ENORMOUS, PRISONER COMES. THAT DAY WILL MAKE A BIG TURN IN THE “GREEN” MILE’S HISTORY …
THE MOVIE , BEING 3H LONG, IS VERY SLOW AT FIRST BUT YOU ONLY REALIZE THE LENGTH’S IMPORTANCE WHEN YOU REACH THE LAST HOUR. THE MOVIE IS VERY HARD TO SWALLOW BECAUSE IT CONTAINS SOME SCENES THAT ARE EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL SO YOU GET OUT OF THE MOVIE KIND-OF-SHOCKED .. IT DELIVERS MANY IDEAS : FIRST, THE MOVIE CRITICIZES THE WORLD’S CRUELTY, THEN HE SETS LIMITS BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, HEAVEN AND HELL…ACTORS ARE GOOD (EXCEPT MAYBE TOM HANKS WHO COULD’VE DONE MUCH BETTER BUT HE WASN'T' HELPED BY HIS ROLE EITHER..).OVERALL, THIS MOVIE IS REALLY GOOD FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN BEAR LENGTHS .
